2013: The Last Year of the Gallardo

After a decade-long production run, the Lamborghini Gallardo will sail off into the sunset after the 2013 model year.

Lamborghini has made no secret that it's currently developing a replacement for the strong-selling Gallardo. First unveiled in 2003, the Gallardo (hard as it is to believe) is nearing a decade of production. But Lamborghini has a long history of keeping its supercars in production for many years; the Countach lasted for 16. But all good things must come to an end at some point, and the Italian supercar-maker has just released this new video making it official that the 2013 model year will be the Gallardo's last.

The short video shows the Gallardo throughout its life and how Lamborghini itself is an integral part of the Italian way of life. There's no mention of the car's successor or whether there will be a final edition model, but the video's title says it all.
